About Me
I am currently studying theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, Italy. Previously, I spent ten years doing research in statistical physics, thermodynamics and biophysics: first as an undergraduate running experiments on spin-velocity correlations of optically pumped atoms in the laboratory of William Happer at Princeton, then as a graduate student developing theories in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics with Jeremy England at MIT, and finally as a postdoc with Pankaj Mehta at Boston University, where I applied insights from statistical physics and machine learning to the analysis of complex ecosystems. At the moment, this site is focused primarily on my postdoctoral research, and is designed as a convenient entry point for anyone interested in exploring and building on this work. I plan to add new content on my theological research, and especially on areas of interdisciplinary engagement with biophysics and ecology as these new projects mature.
